Using whole numbers can be easier when estimating

I’m a nurse working in a large hospital. I did ICU nursing for almost 8 years, and now I’m a “float pool” nurse… which means they send me to whatever unit needs help that shift (Except pediatrics. That’s not my gig, and our pediatrics has a separate Children’s Hospital anyway).

Every day is a new adventure. I might be working in one of the ICU’s (Neuro, Cardiac, Surgical, Medical), or I could be on any of the other floor units (Med-Surg and such). Currently on a Nephrology unit, cursing the fact that I scheduled myself to work the night that time rolls back an hour. So it’ll be a little over a 13 hour shift tonight :(

But it’s hard to say what a typical day looks like. Lots of charting, time management, monitoring, and critical thinking… as well as the physical aspect of patient care. It’s definitely interesting and I love it. But it can also be draining (physically, mentally, and emotionally), so ya gotta make sure to maintain your own balance too

Never enough

Respect. The casette-aux is way better than the radio transmitters, if you don’t have bluetooth nor an aux input. I was using one up until about 2015 (with my ipod instead of a cd Walkman though), before my car finally gave up the ghost. Now I just use bluetooth

They’re still in use at most banks where I live. Most hospitals use them too; way faster than dumbwaiters

Damn, I haven’t thought about those in a long time

My Chemical Romance — the first two albums at least, wasn’t a fan of “Black Parade”

I kinda forgot about them, but same. “Frakenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy” got a lot of plays from me when I was in highschool

Question: I bought my phone unlocked several years ago. I have AT&T. But apparently, because I didn’t buy it from AT&T, my visual voicemail refuses to work

I’ve tried and given up several times to fix it, and it’s not a huge deal; I just miss being able to check my voicemail without calling it.

Do you happen to know anything about this? Every “fix” I’ve found has failed so far

I just discovered the joys of sitting to pee this past year. I just never thought about it before, and only sat to pee if I had to poop too… though I can’t say I ever cared whether someone else sat or stood to pee

But I had two separate fainting spells while standing to pee after getting out of bed (orthostatic hypotension), and almost really hurt myself the second time. Now, I often sit to pee at home because it’s just more comfortable (and apparently safer). Live and learn I guess

That’s what happened to me. Used one for the first time at a hotel — bought one not long after and will never go back. Got like a $30 one and am still using it over 4 years later. I’ll probably upgrade when I have the extra money, realizing just now how long it’s been since I got it

That’s freaking cool, I never knew that. Appreciate the link

Check out “slow scan tv” if you haven’t already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized

Just don’t underestimate them… I hear they “kick like a mule” and “bite like a crocodile”

Shit, a standard thread feels natural to me, but a left hand thread still fucks my life up sometimes — trying to notice what’s going on before I strip it.

My grill can connect to those camping propane tanks, but it’s threaded opposite… gets me every time

Clockwise and counterclockwise may be more intuitive for some people. Is the clock-hand (wrench) going forward in time, or backwards. But I don’t know of any quick rhyme for that

I can carry 3 full pint glasses in one hand and 2 in the other. If they’re empty, I can carry 4 in one hand and 3 in the other. It comes in handy more than I would expect

Damn, I forgot about Smash TV. Idk how much time my friend and I spent on that game as kids

Ehh, depends on the concentration of salt and if you’ve been sweating a whole lot… and I mean working outside in the heat sweating, not a 30-minute cardio. But unless you have low (or lose) sodium and/or chloride, than it will probably dehydrate you

My dad did that one year lol. Refused to change his clocks or personal routine. Dunno if he was able to stick with it or not — but it was funny to hear him talk so seriously about why he “refuses to abide by such an arbitrary concept that makes his life harder, by having to adjust his body’s schedule”

His face had such a straight up “nope, fuck all that” look about it, it cracked me up lmao
